August 4: at NY Yankees 5-7 L. LP-Robertson (4-4). Starter-Senga (6.1 6 2 2 1 6). HR-Paredes (18). A brutal loss. Rays were up 5-2 going to the bottom of the 8th when Maldonado got in trouble and allowed two runs. Bautista came in to get out of that jam but put a man on in the 9th and was fatigued with two outs, so Robertson came in and gave up a 3-run homer to Spencer Jones to end it.

Transaction: The time has come to call up DH Hunter Owen from Durham, as all he's done with the Bulls is hit 290/379/692 with 47 HR and 111 RBI. He boasts 70 MLB power and we'll need him to run into a few for us. Going the other way is Xavier Isaac, who just hasn't hit at all since coming back from injury.

August 5: at NY Yankees 2-4 L. LP-Springs (6-9, 6 6 4 3 1 2). A weak night for the offense as they only manage 4 hits. Owen in his Rays debut was 0-3 with a HBP but up against a tough customer in Gerrit Cole.

August 6: at NY Yankees 4-3 W (10). WP-Bautista (6-3). S-Maldonado (1). Starter-Bradley (6 6 2 2 0 8). HR-Owen (1), B.Jones (8). Rays came back to go up 3-2 in the 8th only for Robertson to give up another back-breaking homer to let the Yanks tie. Fortunately C.Williams came through in the 10th with an RBI single to win it.

August 7: Off-Day.

August 8: at Boston 12-6 W. WP-Pepiot (10-8, 7 5 2 2 2 6). HR-C.Williams (15), Caminero (20), J.Lowe (12), B.Jones (9). The bats unloaded on Boston with JLowe and Jones each hitting 3-run homers and Rutschman knocking in 3 with a pair of doubles.

August 9: at Boston 6-2 W. WP-Lovelady (1-0). Starter-McClanahan (5.2 5 2 2 0 10). HR-C.Williams (16). Williams' 2-run homer in the 7th broke a 2-2 tie and Owen's 2-run single in the 8th provided insurance.

August 10: at Boston 6-5 W. WP-Senga (1-0, 5 4 1 1 3 9). S-Bautista (26). HR-Campusano (2), B.Jones (10), Y.Diaz (10). Campusano's 2nd-inning slam helped them to a 6-1 lead that the shaky-of-late pen nearly frittered away before Bautista slammed the door in the 9th to preserve Senga's first Rays win and complete the Fenway sweep.

Team record: 65-48. Treading water as we remain 5 behind Baltimore in the division but also remain semi-secure in the first wild card spot. Next week: A day off then 3 at the Trop against the Yankees followed by a visit from Houston for 3 more.

Players of the Week:

AL: Gunnar Henderson (BAL), 6-17, 5 HR, 7 RBI
NL: Mookie Betts (LA), 9-22, 3 HR, 10 RBI
